Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Can I stop a moment and wax poetic about chocolate chip cookies? Gooey, salty-sweet, chocolatey melt-in your mouth cookies?  There are a million good recipes, but for me, the original Toll House recipe (the one found on the back of the bag) will always triumph. Maybe it's because they remind me of afternoons baking with family and friends, the scent of them baking emanating throughout the whole house.

On a cold winter afternoon, there is nothing better than a warm chocolate chip cookie and a glass of milk. But, with temperatures reaching into the 100s warm cookies are less exciting. But ice cream sandwiches? Yes please!

Make the toll house cookies. Sandwich vanilla ice cream between two cookies, and roll in mini chocolate chips (or nuts). Freeze until ice cream is solid again.

Extra points if you make the ice cream yourself.....
